[Panther Thunder]

Middlesboro had double the penalties, had their starting QB out, fumbled the ball way too much, and didn't play defense.

Pikeville did NOT win this game, Middlesboro LOST it. It's that simple. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to look up on it because the reasons I stated were exactly why the Jackets lost.

Pikeville was without Austin Black (Leading Tackler), Kory Stevens (Starting Corner), Daric Pugh (2nd in tackles, lost for the year), and DL Jordan Scott. As well as Chase Hall not being able to practice this week. I know #3 was out for MBoro as well, but injuries are a part of the game and it isn't like Pikeville didn't have their own.

MBoro could have had their starting QB (Who MBoro fans were complaining about being fumble prone), and it would not have done much to make a difference, they still scored 46 points and didn't punt.

Fun game between these two teams that are very comparable, but the Panthers did what they had to do to win big. If you told me Pikeville would be 5-1 at the beginning of the season, I would take it all day every day. Great job by this team. Time to rest up and get better! HAIL PIKEVILLE!
